Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I
make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics,
constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is
to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education
system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in
particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential
candidates.

Another
policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more
entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion.

Act
1 Gangster’s demand

Imagine
a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the
gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to
give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources
can only offer his body or his service to work for the master.

Back
in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues
to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are
tiger, or superstar or acting like one.' 'Ask you to compensate,
you can only offer 5K, you think who I am.'

From
far away, you can see his shouting.

Act
2 Su Dongbo and Zhang Juzheng

Now
we turn to Chinese history. In Northern Song, Su Dongbo (苏东坡）is
taking his imperial examination. The chief examiner is Ouyang
Xiu（欧阳修）.Ouyang
Xiu likes Su Dongbo's work very much and decides to award the top
award to him. However, after second thought he decides to award it to
another candidate because Su's essay looks very much like one of his
students. In order not let others criticize his favouritism, he
awards some one not deserving to be the first. It, anyway, never
stops Su Dongbo or Quyang Xiu to be the giants in Chinese literature.
Su, after exam, still pays respect to Ouyang as his teacher, his
mentor.

Few
hundred years later, in Ming dynasty, a young talent, Zhang Juzheng
(张居正）,
was born. The Ming was in a period of infighting, dirty politics,
and social unrest. It is financially bankrupted and in deficit.
Everyone expects Zhang to come in first in provincial examination
after his county exam. However, the chief examiner interviews Zhang
and tells him the reason why he cannot be the top student. And in
fact, Zhang fails the exam. The reason is that young talent like
Zhang must learn failure before success. Zhang finally cleared the
exam at an older age and becomes the prime minister. His reform in
taxation and other social policies turn the fortune of Ming, from
deficit to surplus in just 2 years and also he strengthens the
defence. Historians comment that without Zhang, the Ming dynasty will
fall earlier and Zhang gives Ming another 50 or 60 years to live.

Act
3 Singapore education system

Back
in chamber again, a potential member from the ruling party is
shouting high and low, cry father cry mother. What is he shouting? I
deserve to be first. I cannot forgive my primary five teacher who
awards some one not on meritocracy principle. The teacher said, 'you
already had too many awards and let other has a chance'. The
honourable member replied: 'this is not fair'. 'I am not Su Dongbo or
Zhang Juzheng'. 'I want to be the first in examination or in my work
based on merit'.

So,
this is the kind of standard that the ruling party wants to present
to the voters. Is this, a typical product of Singapore education
system? The audience has to decide whether the ruling party is
running out of candidates and has to present sub-standard candidates
to fill up their candidate list. And so where are the high quality
candidates? It cannot be a zero sum game. Every education system must
produce some talents. Could they go to the opposite side?

Act
4 Social media and creative administration

From
chamber, we move to society, to the economy. We look at the social
media, the ruling party is doing poorly. We then look at the policy
options, again, not convincing.

How
can the ruling party turn its fortune? The party does not have Su
Dongbo type of talents to begin attacks or defend itself in social
media. Neither do they have Zhang Juzheng type of talents to begin
any workable reform in Singapore.

The
conclusion is the PAP is putting up a sub-standard show in the
chamber. And unfortunately, their potential candidates are also
sub-standard if not in academic then in morality. They fail to learn
success comes from failure. Meritocracy does not make you a great
man, but morality does.

Be careful here. Nobody can help you here or even suggest how you can get financial help. Any answer of a loan lender to your question, you MUST ignore,because they are SCAMS…real SCAMS…i was a victim of which i was ripped thousands of dollars…well thank God for a Christian sister who referred me to a loan organization formed by some Christian Women Trust Fund. it is called Christian women Trust-funds Cooperative Organization (C.W.T.C.O) christainwomen.trustloanfirm@gmail.com They made my life a valuable one and gave it a meaning. When the sister gave me their contact, I contacted them. Then I requested for a loan with all the necessary evidence to prove that I actually needed a loan, they approved a loan of $250,000.00 USD in 48 hours after meeting up to their necessary requirements, my loan was deposited in my bank account without collateral. Though i was very nervous with the loan organization at first due to my previous bad experiences, especially when the issue of me settling the Registration charges came up, I hold on to my faith due to the fact that my relative referred me, got it cleared,and as God should have it, little did I know that my financial shortcomings has come to a final end. If not for that quick referral from a christian sister to this genuine source ,I would have regretted my total life,because at that point in time i just divorced the father of my son, and my son (Kennett) was faced with a life and death situation. I was faced with his hospital bills and i was also faced with foreclosure at my apartment. Details of this GOD-SENT organization won’t be disclose for now for fear of impersonation ( because it has been discovered that some persons are not really in need of financial help, but they just want to collect money from this genuine christian loan organization). And it is because of this reason they don,t give out loan anyhow. You must be able to convince them very well, and provide good proofs to show that you really need a loan before they can approve it for you. Their charge is very affordable and reliable compare to many out there,their interest rates is just 4%, from 1-10years repayment little documentation,and little credit check. As i have earlier said, for security reasons i can only provide their email address. Embrace this new initiative.Feel free to contact them via Email(christainwomen.trustloanfirm@gmail.com) as their loan officer/rep sir perry smith will attend to you and you will be free from scams and financial burdens.
